Did anyone make their own/have wine glass charms for their wedding? Do you think it would be a good idea as favours? Should I get boxes?

i think wine glass charms are beautiful for favours. I received some for xmas one year and i love them. very unique and pretty, though perhaps only for the ladies?

Isn't it traditionally only the women that get a favour?

well in the olden days yes thats the tradition. mostly now you'd give both male and female favours but I just figured wine charms are a bit of a feminine thing? - less likely to be used by men?

i personally gave different favours for men and women - well actually same favour - different box but you get the idea. Its up to you if you wnated to give men a favour at all x

Lovely idea! I saw some in BHS in the sale last weekend & was gonna get them but the Q was out the door :-(

Failing boxes you could get some cute little organza bags in yer colour scheme... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100-3X4-Pink-O...QQcmdZViewItem

I think wine charms are a great idea for favours (infact they're on my own list of potential things to use as favours for the girls). Have you seen this site? Charms work out at £2.25 each but at least you get to mix and match exactly what charms you want and what coloured beads go with them.

I think we will definitely be making them - we worked out it would only cost app. 25p to make the same ones I saw on ebay at £1.99 each :S

I love that idea
I was going to use cocktail swizzle sticks originally as I used to work for a glass factory. I wonder if they do the pretty charms any more http://www.ssgi.demon.co.uk/Catalog/CAT28.HTM
